Sunlight

Now that I live in the tropics* with a south-facing window, I no longer have much trouble waking up in the morning. The huge flood of natural sunlight makes me feel like I’ve overslept when it is still seven AM. Still, I feel I owe it to my readers to update the roundup of high-tech alarm clocks I did last year:

Or move to the tropics and get a big south-facing window. It worked for me!

I’m about an hour’s drive North of the Tropic of Cancer, so I’m not technically“in the tropics.” But close enough for the days to be fairly long year-round. However, the constant rain can make it pretty dark sometimes.
